Jennifer Garner has either gained a ton of weight around her stomach, or she’s pregnant. The actress has been spotted out and about in Los Angeles recently, sporting what suspiciously looks to be a baby bump. Although she and Ben Affleck had planned not to have any more kids after the birth of their son two years ago, this kind of ‘accident’ does happen quite often.

Star Magazine claims that Jennifer is definitely expecting baby number 4, despite the fact that she and her husband can barely manage to balance their careers and their already existing three children. Jennifer’s the one who’s had to sacrifice the most, as she stays home with the kids while her husband’s career takes priority. On the one hand, it almost makes sense – he’s winning Oscars and working with acclaimed directors. But on the other, is it fair to Jennifer, who surely has higher aspirations in life than being Ben Affleck’s wife?

If this is baby number 4, then we can probably expect her to quit acting altogether. Either that, or she’s going to be hiring a lot more help. Of course, Jennifer’s rep has already reached out to TMZ to deny the rumors, claiming that Jennifer is NOT pregnant with her fourth child. Now, I know what a lot of people usually say – reps lie. In fact, they lie all the time. But in this case, what does Jennifer have to gain by denying this? If it’s true, we’ll find out eventually. And if it’s not true? Well, she’s just gained weight. Yes, the distribution of that weight gain seems a bit odd, as it all looks concentrated around her stomach. Then again, some enterprising paparazzi could have just taken the picture from an unflattering angle, making it look like Jennifer was pregnant when, in fact, she was not.
